As of May 11, local time, according to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has reached 1,344,512 and 80087 deaths.

Baiyan, with a very high safety factor, was also "conquered" by the epidemic. The number of confirmed cases of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in the United States and the wide range of transmission make people have to question how long has the epidemic spread in the United States?

It is worth noting that shortly after the US military’s Fort Detrick biological base was closed in July last year, an inexplicable "e-cigarette disease" broke out in the nearby area. The clinical symptoms of patients with the disease were very similar to those of patients with COVID-19.

Recently, there have been more and more doubts in the United States and internationally, demanding that the U.S. government announce the real reasons for the closure of the Fort Detrick Biological Base, and investigate the closure of the Fort Detrick Biological Base and the "e-cigarette disease", The relationship between influenza and new coronary pneumonia.

"The mysterious e-cigarette disease"

In August 2019, there was a sudden outbreak of "e-cigarette disease" in the United States, and the number of confirmed cases reached a peak in September. As of February 18, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States has reported a total of 2,807 cases of lung injury (EVALI) related to e-cigarettes or retail products, of which 68 have died.

However, the cause of the EVAL outbreak has not been clearly announced by the CDC so far. It only stated that "laboratory data shows that the vitamin E acetate used in e-cigarettes containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products is closely related to the outbreak: however, it is also currently It is difficult to rule out the influence of other chemicals.

According to the New York Times report in August last year, patients with "e-cigarette disease" usually suffer from severe shortness of breath, chest pain, vomiting, fever, and fatigue. Some patients need to be treated with a ventilator in the intensive care unit. According to reports, the outbreak of e-cigarette lung disease is "becoming an epidemic", plagued doctors and public health experts.

"New York Times" report

After the emergence of e-cigarette lung disease, the US Centers for Disease Control, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), state and local health departments and other agencies have been investigating the cause of the disease. Investigators are trying to determine whether a certain toxin or substance has sneaked into the supply of e-cigarette products, and whether someone has reused e-cigarette boxes containing pollutants.

In January of this year, the CDC released data showing that of the 2022 patients hospitalized for e-cigarette lung disease treatment, 82% of patients reported using products containing tetrahydrocannabinol, and 33% of patients reported only using products containing tetrahydrocannabinol. Hydrocannabinol products: 57% of patients reported using nicotine-containing products, and 14% of patients reported only using nicotine-containing products. This means that not all confirmed cases are related to THC. Disease Control The center believes that the substance may have caused an outbreak of e-cigarette lung disease.

Are e-cigarettes the culprit?

In September 2019, a doctor who had treated patients with e-cigarette lung disease said in an interview with CBS that no other cause of the disease had been found, but it happened that the patients all smoked e-cigarettes.

In November 2019, CNN reported a suspected death from e-cigarette lung disease. Two months after the patient's death, Maria was still unable to determine whether the cause of death was related to e-cigarettes. CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta said in a connection that the United States began selling e-cigarettes in 2007, and there has never been a similar case of mysterious lung disease before. The relationship between the two is still worth exploring.

Gupta also said that many cases appear to be related to e-cigarettes containing THC. But THC is illegal in some states. Why do patients with e-cigarette lung disease in these states get sick?

"E-cigarette disease" damages the lungs similar to biochemical weapons?

In October 2019, the Mayo Clinic in the United States studied the lung tissue samples of 17 patients and found that the damage was similar to the result of exposure to toxic chemicals.

"New York Times" report

Brandon Larson, a surgical pathologist at the Mayo Clinic, said, "The 17 cases we studied all had lung injuries, like some kind of direct chemical damage, similar to exposure to toxic chemical fumes, toxic gases, and toxic substances. The situation may be seen from time to time. In fact, the patients look like workers who have suffered misfortune in industrial accidents. After a large bucket of toxic chemicals leaked, the whole person was exposed to toxic gases, and there were chemical substances in the respiratory tract burning."

Larson also said that these lung injuries also look like those exposed to mustard gas (a chemical weapon used in World War I) and other toxic substances. Research on lung damage related to e-cigarettes is still in its early stages. At this stage, these findings should be treated with caution.

According to USA Today, hundreds of accidental human contact with fatal microorganisms have occurred in U.S. laboratories since 2003. These contacts may cause direct contacts to be infected with deadly viruses. The viruses spread to communities through these individuals and form epidemics. Disease epidemic.

According to a report by the US National Audit Office as early as 2009, 400 accidents occurred in P3 laboratories in the United States in the past 10 years. The safety of biological laboratories is the biggest risk faced by US regulatory agencies.

The relationship between the "e-cigarette disease" and the closure of Fort Detrick's biological base, the pandemic, and the new crown pneumonia requires the United States to give the public an explanation.
